“Are you calling for masks at high school basketball games or in theaters or restaurants too ?”
If they’re packed as tightly as an SWA 737 with recirculating air for 4 hours, then YES. I’m really not into getting sick, just to visit relatives.
Then don’t go visit. Leave me alone! I am not your slave to bend to your will. Everyone must suffer for your selfish fears?

But you were OK with it before for the right price, right ?
Wear a mask if it makes you feel better. But how does MY not wearing a mask make YOUR mask ineffective?

The air inside an airliner recirculates every 2-3 minutes. It flows from the ceiling to the floor. 50% is vented. The remaining 50% then goes thru hospital grade filters. To it is added an equal volume of air from outside the aircraft, which apart from being at 30,000 feet is also heated hot enough to kill viruses and then cooled and mixed.
The air inside an airliner is darn pure once you get airborne. And the planes are sanitized daily. It is one of the cleanest places you can go. Much cleaner than WalMart, restaurants or most any other building.
Southwest always claimed to be competing with the private passenger automobile on short segments. If so, they are probably in worse shape than their competitors, for just the reason you mentioned. If people do have to make that 400 mile trip, now, they would much rather drive.
